This pole is from an inch AID a half to two
inches in diameter, and at one end is pro-
vided with aniron rod or shank about two
feet long and fve-eights of IN inch in di.
ameter. This shank is fastened to
the pole by means Of a cOnical 0r
elongated, cuplike expansion at on end
which gets over the sharpened end OF the
pole, to which it is secured by screws or
spikes. A light line extends from one end
OF the pole t. the point where it Joins the
shank, and in this line is tied 4 loop, by
which is made fast another short line
which secures the pole to the vessel OF

it cannot he lost. Upon the end OF the
shank fits the head Of the harpOon.
The entire weight of the harpOou, pole

"The World" spectacular drama in.
Producing the grandest scenic display that
has yet been put upon our boards was
produced here on Saturday night at Ma
sonic Opera House. The mechanical eft
fects and stage settings were something
simply wonder ul to our little town. The
sinking ship in which the masts and spars
of the steamer gradually disappear be
meath the waves was a truly wonderful
deception. Another very pretty scene was
the floating raft, dashed to which are the
hero and heroine, tossed at the mercy OF
the waves quite as natural as those of our
beautiful Severn. The appearance of a
sail and the rescue was all very material
aud beautiful The merit of the entire
play lies in the scenic effects Mr.. j. z.

APubIie Building for Annapolis.

Congressman Compton has been untir-
ing in his efforts to do all In his power for
Annapolis. We have never had q repre-
sentative from this district that has inter
ested himself in behalf of cur city as
much az Mr.. Compton has-and none
that has been as successful In procuring
amendments for bis constituents. Having
failed last winter, after an earnest aud per
sisteut effort TO procure for Annapolis .
new public building for postoiiice and
courthouse, Mr. Compton says he does
not propose TO renew his efforts in that d.
rection this session. 1t will be remembered
that his bill passed successfully through
the House aud Senate, but IL failed to be
come a law He proposes, however. that
Annapolis shall have public building II
il is within his power to accomplish that
end, and therefore he will consult the
supervising architect of the treasury with
a view to securing his recommendation
that the old United States Court building
in Baltimore, which will become vacant
upon the completion of the new public
building in that city, be transferred to the
capital Of the State of Maryland, where
il may be utilized as a courthouse and
postoffice. The removal, he says, can be
made without much expense, and It will
be cheaper for the government TO dispose
of it in that way than put 1t up at auction
and sell ii at a sacrifice.
